Jay Gould and Depew Are Pleased.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, March pa reporter visited sew
eral of the leading railroad men Of this city to-
day and obtained their views in regard to the
Interstate commerce Commission, as selected by
President Cleveland Mr. Jay Gould said:
II only know Judge Cooley and Mr. Schoon
maker of those who have been appointed The
former regard as eminently fitted in every way
for the position. He is an admirable jurist, and
is not without thorough understanding of our
railroad systems. His selection is an excellent
Mr.. Schoonmaker is also q good choice.
Morrison. believe, Is An honest man, and would
do his duty"
'Do you object to the appointment of so
many lawyersF asked the reporter.
Certainly not. have perused that bill about
dozen times, and have not yet been able to
grasp its meaning. Lawyers are just the men
for the place. They will be able to get at the
meaning of the law, and will see that 1t Is en-
forced / think. on the whole, the President
has done well as he could for US under the
circumstances, and am sure the railroad com
panies will be content AS for myself, l am sat
isfed."
Chauncey NJ. Depew president of the Wander
b1lt roads said: II consider the Presidents
choice admirable. Judge Cooley l know as q
,apable, energetic man, eminently we'll fitted to
Justly administer the interstate-commerce law.
HIS connection with the Wabash road has
also given him practical idea OF the
management OF railroads. Morrison is well
chosen, too; he represents the element which de-
manded the passage of the bill, and which thinks
that all railroads are bad and should be wiped
out stopped. At the same time he is a just
man. and will do all in his power to secure the
proper administration of the new law. Schoon-
maker. of State, is we'll fitted for his new
duties. His experience as Attorney-gen will
prove valuable to the commission, and the work
ings of railroads are by no means unknown to
him. Of Walker and Bragg have little per-
sonal knowledge. But from the char
acter of the commissioners that / do
know, l have every to believe that
in each the President has chosen we'll. On
che whole do not see how Mr. Cleveland could
nave made better selections. He was hampered
by the fact that nearly all the leading railroad
men already employed. The growth of men
capable of controlling great corporations has
not been commensurate with the development OF
our great railway systems, and good men are
hard to find. / don't object TO having lawyers
on the commission. They are needed to explain
the law and see that it is properly and fairly ad
minstered. l know that the President tried to
get some practical recognized authority on rail
road matters"

The Y. M. G. A. Building.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
1t is very gratifying to know that in the builds
ing now in process of erection the T. NJ. c. A.
will have home adapted to their wants and their
work. To me. and also to others, there is a de-
feet in the plan of the main stairway. It ia
long and steep, without any break in it-similar
to the old one, of which there was much COM
plant Half way up the ascent there should be
landing three or four feet wide, which would
be restful and divide the labor Of climbing.
Young men, who can go up with bound or two,
don't think of this. But ladies and older men
would welcome halfway station. 1t is hoped
this will be place Of large resort for all classes
and to make it SO its entrance should be as easy
of access as possible. There is similar defect
and complaint in regard to the stairway in Odd
fellows Hail. and in tho new State -honse. In
the latter there is an elevator though not always
available Many know with what ease the Sec
ond floor of the Court house is reached, and
that of some business houses of the city, be-
cause the up grade is divided. Cannot change
be made even now2 We call the attention of
the building committee to this matter and hope
they will make change for the better and thus
receive the thanks of MANY FRIENDS
